Perceptions of Hate Crime Perpetrators and Victims as Influenced by Race, Political Orientation, and Peer Group
Three studies evaluated the influence of extralegal bias factors on mock jurors' perceptions of hate crimes. Race of victim (African American, Caucasian), race of perpetrator (African American, Caucasian), and political orientation (self-identified conservative, liberal) were manipulated in Experiment 1. Results indicated differential perceptions such that certainty of guilt and sentence ratings were greatest when the victim was African American …

Coping With Interracial Stress in Ethnically Diverse Classrooms
This study examined desegregated classrooms with an emphasis on how students' perceptions of Allport's (1954) contact dimensions influence the frequency and effectiveness of their coping strategies for interracial stress, their self-esteem, and their self-reported academic performance. Fourth, fifth, and sixth graders from two ethnically diverse middle schools in Los Angeles, California, participated. Results indicated that students' perceptions …

Explanatory coherence in social explanations
Explanatory coherence in social explanations
This article studies the impact of explanatory coherence on the evaluation of explanations. Tested were 4 principles of P. Thagard's (1989) model for evaluating the coherence of explanations. Study I showed that Ss preferred explanations that accounted for more data (breadth) and that were simpler (simplicity or parsimony). Study 2 demonstrated that Ss thought an explanation was stronger when it could, in turn, be explained. Study 3 showed that t…
Effects of situational aggression cues
Meta-analytic procedures were used to assess the degree to which aggression-related cues present in the environment facilitate aggressive responding among negatively aroused subjects. The first study, which examined the so-called weapons effect, the effect of name-mediated cues, and other cue effects, showed clear evidence that aggression cues augment aggressive responses in negatively aroused subjects. This was true for the overall analysis and …
